Keith,
	I could tell that was going to be a pretty good old hunk of
iron.  Placing the Elkhart mag on it will be a neat addition.  Are you
going to mount it on a set of trucks or make it a skidded engine?

Last October I purchased a 7 HP Economy Hit and Miss Kerosene engine in
Pennsylvania.  The seller arranged to have it delivered to the Fall
Coolspring show where Tommy Turner picked it up and hauled it back to KY
for me.  A couple of weeks ago I made a trip to Tommy's and retrieved
the engine.  Last weekend we had a chance to play with it and got her
running.  It is a very early engine made in 1914 with the rolled water
hopper top, gasoline starting tank on the side of the block and
lunkenheimer 3 valve mixer.  I still need to mount the Elkhart magneto
and decide what to do about the paint job and cart.  Here is a video of
it running last night after a little more tinkering.

Now all I need is a 12 HP Economy to complete the set. :-)
